A Rare Case of Giant Facial Myoepithelioma: Diagnostic Approach and Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Myoepithelioma is a rare benign tumor of the salivary glands, now recognized as a distinct nosological entity. This article presents the case of a large myoepithelioma that developed in the minor salivary glands of the cheek in a 53-year-old married man. The clinical appearance of the lesion, combined with its extension into the deep spaces of the face, initially suggested a malignant tumor. Biopsies performed on the mass suggested a pleomorphic adenoma, but microscopic and immunohistochemical analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the myoepithelial origin of the tumor. However, the diagnosis of this type of neoplasm remains difficult due to the wide variability of its clinical, histological, and cytological characteristics. A good understanding of the morphological architectures and specific immunohistochemical profiles described in this study is essential for making an accurate diagnosis and avoiding misinterpretation.
